The Museum of the City of New York has curated a great exhibition for the one-year anniversary of Superstorm Sandy, Rising Waters which opens today. I was happy to have some images from my Occupy Sandy project included when over 1000 photographers submitted work. The exhibition opens today and runs through March 2, 2014. Make time to check out the images from Stephen Wilkes, Andrew Burton, Ed Kashi, and Ben Lowy among others and visit a wonderful museum space in the city.
